Answer:
1590 N.
Explanation:
Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and the acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of Force is Newton (N).
The formula of force is given as
F = ma ........................ Equation 1
Where F = Force, m = mass of the astronaut, a = takeoff acceleration if the astronaut.
Given: m = 53.0 kg, a = 30 m/s²
Substitute into equation 1
F = 53(30)
F = 1590 N.
Hence the force exerted on the astronaut = 1590 N.
